Paul Reubens at long last got a chance to reprise the popular character he was known for in a 2010 revival of the original stage show that began his career. It updates the original story for modern audiences while incorporating a lot of new Pee-wee lore, including appearances by many characters from his 1986-1990 TV series, Pee-wee's Playhouse, making it both an epilogue and reunion for many of the performers. It's a lot of fun to see Paul inhabiting the role again and fitting the grey suit like a glove without ever missing a beat. This one is mostly for the fans, but there is a lot of love and nostalgia throughout.
